DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
124 Fans

1. Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Gota Ihashi defeated Chris Brookes, Yukio Naya & Toui Kojima when Honda pinned Kojima with the Diving Fist Drop (8:57).
2. Young Communication Generation Vs DDT Legend Army!: Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Akito after the Kiss His Ass (8:52).
3. Yusuke Okada defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (8:56).
4. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Yuki Iino & Shunma Katsumata defeated Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie by Countout (8:28).
5. DAMNATION Vs Junretsu!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Takao pinned Okatani with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:24).
6. Road To NAGOYA! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi when Takeshita pinned Sakaguchi with the German Suplex (17:33).

The main event was DDT Sauna Club’s warning to Eruption. The finish saw Konosuke Takeshita give Kazusada Higuchi a Last Ride Power Bomb then he would break out of Yukio Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold to pin him with the German Suplex. He told the both of them afterwards it’s been a long time since the Sauna Club got to show off their true colours. MAO chipped in that this match is the result of all his strength and he is only going to get stronger. The Sauna Club promise that every member will be holding a title belt in Nagoya next week.

Yuki Iino went on a warpath because he can’t keep his emotions in check around Yuji Hino. The two brawled around ringside leading to Iino hitting Spears on Hino and Mad Paulie. Iino then lost control and hit his own partner Shunma Katsumata with a Lariat before entering the ring in time to win by countout. Iino grabbed the microphone and shouted he will crush Hino in Nagoya! Backstage Iino explained that when he went into a rage, everyone looked like Hino to him and he just wanted to scream at a high place.

Everyone knows Yusuke Okada wants to face Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title so he didn’t want to waste any more time and threw out the challenge. Ueno politely said he’s been waiting for somebody to grab his attention. He’s happy to see Okada do that. Okada has a lot of respect for Ueno but he hates him for being better looking. Their title match will happen in Korakuen Hall on 14th March.

The generation feud between the DDT Legend Army and Young Communication Generation continues. Sanshiro Takagi directed traffic by lifting up Akito in the Spicolli Driver and holding him there for Danshoku Dieno to Lip Lock him. After the Driver, Dieno then put Akito in the Danshoku Killswitch position and waited for Takagi to give him a Stunner for extra damage. The prone Dieno pinned Akito and Takagi gave Shota a Stunner after the match.

The DDT Extreme Title Match between Katsumata and MAO on 28th February will be a Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition. Katsumata wants the ring to be like a kid’s playroom so anything that is not considered dangerous can be used as a weapon. The goal is to either win with a 3 count pin or have enough 1 and 2 count pins to reach 37 counts in total (3 = san, 7 = nana). Katsumata wants to move beyond MAO so he can reach the next step. MAO just wants to “Destroy Shunma Katsumata!”

Akito announced the main event for the 3rd March BOYZ show is a 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match between the New BOYZ Army and the Old BOYZ Army.

Akiyama Joins DDT, Max Heart 1st Rounds, Watase Injured, Ueno Can’t Decide

February 15, 2021

Today a press conference was held by CyberFight to give some big news for DDT and NOAH. On the DDT side, Jun Akiyama has signed a one year full time contract with DDT. On the NOAH side, Keiji Muto has signed a two year contract with NOAH. President Sanshiro Takagi said the signings were made because he believes these two treasures will be the driving force behind CyberFight becoming No. 1 in the pro wrestling world. Takagi originally asked Akiyama to join DDT back in January after having conversations with All Japan at the end of last year. Akiyama held off on making a deal because of his knee surgery and asked to wait until after “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” to make a decision. As soon as the main event was done and the show was over, Akiyama accepted Takagi’s offer to become DDT’s head coach. Akiyama knew of the risks involved and wants to put everything he has into DDT. Naomichi Marufuji believes Muto’s starpower is important to help make NOAH become a global company. He also has a strong sense of responsibility towards the company after becoming the GHC Heavyweight Champion. Muto said as long as NOAH has the No. 1 wrestler in the industry, CyberFight needs to become the No. 1 organization as well.

1. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

There are so many people Yuki Ueno wants to defend the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against that he can’t decide who to pick next. He’s on the lookout for somebody to get his attention.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2021 ~DDT 24TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 28/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

There are only two wrestlers who have beaten Akiyama in DDT so far. Tetsuya Endo and Kazusada Higuchi. Akiyama got his win back from Endo yesterday and he won’t consider himself a deserving KO-D Openweight Champion until he avenges his embarrassing defeat to Higuchi. So that’s the main event of the 24th Anniversary show set.

There has only been one person who has given backlash to Akiyama’s coaching in DDT. Danshoku Dieno doesn’t like the way Akiyama sees pro wrestling which is understandable given how much Dieno has represented DDT in the past. Akiyama welcomes the criticism and invites Dieno to show him his point of view. But he also warns that as head coach he won’t let members of the roster rebel against him just for the sake of it.

DDT “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” Results

February 14, 2021

DDT “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”, 14/02/2021
Culttz Kawasaki

7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Yukio Sakaguchi by TKO with a Rear Naked Choke Sleeper Hold (17:10).
*V3 for Yuki Ueno.
8. KO-D Openweight Title – Yanekabe Presents: Jun Akiyama defeated Tetsuya Endo (c) with the Modifed Sternness Dust α (31:11).
*Tetsuya Endo fails in V4. Jun Akiyama becomes the 76th KO-D Openweight Champion!

The first “Big Match” show for DDT in 2021 took place in Culttz Kawasaki where fans got to see Jun Akiyama climb back up to the summit and become the new KO-D Openweight Champion! With Kenta Kobashi watching from ringside, Akiyama defeated Tetsuya Endo to avenge the D-Ou Grand Prix loss to him back in November. Endo’s plan was to target Akiyama’s surgically repaired knee to immobilise him. Akiyama had to throw big moves like Piledrivers and different Suplexes to wear down the champion in return. Endo kept kicking out of Exploder Suplexes including one from the top rope. He went high risk with the Shooting Star Press but missed, giving Akiyama the opening to hit his Knee Strikes. Endo kicked out once more this time from the Wrist-Clutch Exploder. It took an open leg Sternness Dust α to finally put Endo down and out to cause the title change.

Kobashi presented Akiyama with the KO-D Title after the match. He wanted to wrap it around his waist but Akiyama refused him. Akiyama said Endo was the best and he was only able to beat him by a small margin today. He doesn’t know if he could do it again, so he is going to borrow this championship for a while. Endo shouted he will get it back and then left. Akiyama then said he cannot wear the title around his waist until he beats the other DDT wrestler he lost against in the Grand Prix. He wants his first defence to be against Kazusada Higuchi! Akiyama then referenced the WRESTLE UNIVERSE servers going down during the main event and joked about using Danshoku Dieno’s anal server to power it back up (that will be explained below).

In order to prepare for his DDT UNIVERSAL Title defence, Yuki Ueno went to train Jiu-Jitsu under Shinya Aoki so he could learn how to defend himself from Yukio Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold. The game plan he put together was to take out Sakaguchi’s left arm and strike first with counters. That was how he cut off the God’s Right Knee with a Dropkick. Sakaguchi wouldn’t die though even when Ueno gave him the WR. Sakaguchi instead tried to shake it off and go straight for the Sleeper Hold. But Ueno’s training paid off and he reversed the submission, choking out Sakaguchi until the match was stopped. Sakaguchi was woken up by medical staff and still had the power to hand the belt over to the champion. Ueno told him he doesn’t have any unpleasant feelings towards him. He was a little luckier today but little by little he is improving. Ueno then said in a few years time he wants to be as cool and scary as Sakaguchi is.

Yuki Iino made a triumphant return by leading ALL OUT to victory over DAMNATION. He immediately gave a Spear to Yuji Hino at the start of the match. ALL OUT all piled on top of Iino and Mad Paulie which was then broken up by a Diving Elbow from Daisuke Sasaki. A challenge of strength took place between Konosuke Takeshita and Hino when they both did Double German Suplexes to wrestlers on both teams. A ladder was bridged from the ring to the commentary table and Hino threw Shunma Katsumata onto it. Sasaki hit Iino with a chairshot behind the referee’s back but Iino shrugged it off and fought back. He got rid of Sasaki with a Lariat and then dropped Hino with a Back Flip. Paulie came in for a fight but missed the Reverse Splash. He kicked out of the Spear at one so Iino revved up for another Spear and that one got the three count. Iino and Hino had a staredown afterwards to hype up their singles match on 23rd February in Nagoya. Another story coming out of this match was Sasaki’s comments backstage. He said his goal for 2021 is to make Takeshita join DAMNATION! When ALL OUT heard that, Akito said he will make Soma Takao join the Young Communication Generation in return. Takeshita then joked that Mad Paulie will join the DDT Sauna Club.

If there is anything I will give Yukio Naya credit for, it is for getting into shape. He’s making good progress with losing weight in a bid to get into better in-ring condition. He still had a very difficult task today going with Higuchi up to fight against Smile Pissari. Naya came close to victory when he gave HARASHIMA a Back Drop. But it all fell apart when he charged right into a Somato. HARASHIMA got the space he wanted to recover and hit a second Somato for the win. HARASHIMA was happy to team with Yuji Okabayashi again and they may now have a claim to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

The spirit of 90’s Michinoku Pro was felt throughout the Special 6-Man Tag Match. Super Delfin had a new era Delfin Gundan in the form of Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh going against the Tohoku trio of MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi. Itoh entered wearing a Gran Naniwa costume and mimicked the late wrestler’s moveset, doing Naniwa’s Crab Walk on the ropes spot to set up the Flying Big Head finish. Delfin said this match happened a day after an earthquake happened in the Tohoku region, almost a decade after the 2011 earthquake. He hopes it will be safe enough for them to do a rematch over there some day. Brookes said it was a dream come true to team with Delfin because he is a cornerstone of the innovative junior heavyweight style of the 90’s. Itoh said the rope walk is a lot more difficult than it looks.

It turns out Saori Anou was right to complain about having to team with Miyako Matsumoto. They had a few too many miscommunications that caused their tag team to fall apart. Anou got sick of getting knocked around by her own tag partner that she gave Matsumoto a Fisherman Buster and left her out to dry. Maya Yukihi hit Matsumoto with the Jumping Super Kick and Saki Akai finished her off with the Rookie Award. Akai, Yukihi and Anou then did a group pose together and left the ring when Matsumoto tried to join in.

New KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Champions have been crowned! Will we see a proper title reign for once? Hell if I know! But enough about that, it’s time to finally talk about Dieno’s anal server. Kazuki Hirata began dancing unconsciously before the match because he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms after spending some time away from the dance gimmick. When he got to do dance in the ring the enthusiasm was so high that it caused a power outage in the venue. Everyone agreed to use Dieno’s backside as a power supply but the cable was not long enough. The wrestlers agreed to form a human chain from Dieno’s butt to the power source. The plan worked but the power wasn’t enough to bring the electricity back to full surge. Shinya Aoki came up with the solution to do the Hell Gate on Dieno, giving the anal power source the energy Dieno needed to power up the building again. Hirata got to dance and pin Sanshiro Takagi to win the titles.

The new rivalry between Yusuke Okada and Mizuki Watase is heating up. The two got rough with each other during the opener. Watase even made it a point to make Toui Kojima submit to a Crab Hold in front of Okada while Okada was being held back by Hideki Okatani. Watase is looking forward to their singles match because he now has a burning heart that wasn’t there before.

7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

When we last left Tetsuya Endo, he teased about having a secret training partner to help him prepare for Jun Akiyama. His only hint was this trainer is somebody who knows Akiyama inside and out. Well the secret has been revealed and that trainer is Kenta Kobashi! Endo has been training at Kobashi’s fitness gym in Tokyo after he approached Kobashi for advice. Kobashi knew about Endo beating Akiyama during the D-Ou Grand Prix but explained that a tournament match is different from a championship match. Akiyama won’t allow himself to lose to the same opponent twice in a row. He will also be more ruthless because he is now a freelancer and failing to win a championship will affect his wrestling career more than usual. His advice to Endo is to ruthlessly target Akiyama’s knees, especially the left one that he just had surgery on. If Endo can make Akiyama panic, then Endo has a chance to win. Simply doing the same stuff he did in the Grand Prix match won’t work a second time. Kobashi wants Endo to be bold and dynamic to broaden his wrestling style.

Kobashi is throwing his support behind Endo to defend the KO-D Openweight Title. He hopes to see Endo get fired up to do the Shooting Star Press just like he he used to fire up before doing the Moonsault. He also gave Endo dating advice when he found out Endo is single. Endo explained his type to him. He likes women with big boobs such as Tomomi Morisaki. Kobashi bragged about meeting Morisaki at a public event just one month ago. Also as a champion, he explained if Endo treats the belt well the belt will be happy and will always come back to him.

Kobashi will attend the show to provide special guest commentary for the main event. Akiyama has since pointed out that whenever Kobashi appears to watch his title matches, he usually wins.

Yuki Ueno is hoping to clear out all of his bitter memories of Yukio Sakaguchi beating him up. If he successfully defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against him then he can spend the rest of 2021 having fun and loving saunas. Ueno has been getting advice from Shinya Aoki to prepare for the match. Sakaguchi thinks the message that has been sent over the last few weeks is he’s strong while Ueno is weak. The two met for commemorative photo during the week and Sakaguchi tried to grab the belt from Ueno. Ueno told him if he wants to take pictures with the belt he should win it on the 14th. Sakaguchi punched Ueno in the stomach and posed with the belt.

Most of the women are excited for their match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi are motivated to team together and even form a competitive rivalry of some sort. Saori Anou on the other hand isn’t pleased to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto. She would much rather be on the same team as Akai or Yukihi. Matsumoto says the best thing about DDT is anything is possible and you are free to do anything. To her the charm of joshi wrestling is not just the glitter but also the grime. She wants Anou to understand that so they can work as a team.

1. Shota’s Independent Journey: Shota Vs Hyper Brave G-Valion
2. THE HALFEE Vs Watase Manase: Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai Vs Mizuki Watase & Yuna Manase
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) Vs Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Ikuto Hidaka

I love the name of the main event. ZERO1 had “STOP THE Matsunaga”. Ganbare☆Pro gets “STOP THE Hidaka!” It’s only fitting for the ZERO1 connection that Yumehito Imanari becomes maybe the last man standing in the way of Ikuto Hidaka. Imanari made a promise to be the messiah for Ganpro.

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions already have a road map set out. The trio called DREAMS HARU TRUE want to defend the belts against Pocchari Joshi. However, Asuka demanded her team with Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga get another shot at the titles first because she will only wrestle in Ganpro for championships. She gets what she wants because Ken Ohka is worried she will walk out of the company, especially right before she could potentially become a breakout star in the AEW women’s tournament.

Ohka gets a second chance against the Aka Rangers. That’s if they can make it to the venue in time. Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO already have another match happening at a FREEDOMS and 2AW co-promoted show in Chiba earlier that day.

Even though he no longer has the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title around his waist, Shota still wants to bring the independent spirit to Ganpro. He is bringing in Hyper Brave G-Valion for a match. G-Valion is from a small Tokyo promotion called BRAVES.

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO

MAO is happy to see his generation are now the main eventers of DDT. It’s a fight he never wants to give up. Konosuke Takeshita agrees and said the DDT Sauna Club runs in the centre of DDT. They main event Korakuen Hall, they’re main eventing Nagoya Congress Center and now they want the KO-D Tag Team Titles to add to their growing championship haul. These are just the kind of opponents Kazusada Higuchi is looking for. Also Sakaguchi disagrees about the age thing. Everyone from HARASHIMA to Danshoku Dieno are all doing their best no matter their age.

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM” Results

February 7, 2021

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM”, 07/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
0 Fans

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Brookes pinned Katsumata with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:25).
2. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao ended in a No Contest (8:53).
3. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Baliyan Akki with the German Suplex (16:48).

Just like last time, almost the entire show is already in English so I don’t know what you’re doing here. But don’t go, here’s a write up anyway! The show began with “CDK” walking out for a welcoming introduction. “Masahiro Takanashi” talked to the camera while “Chris Brookes” stood beside him flipping up the two fingers. The real CDK entered the ring behind them and scared “Brookes” off while “Takanashi” was still talking. The real Chris Brookes asked Shota what he was doing and Shota accused the real Masahiro Takanashi of being fake. Takanashi grabbed Shota by the nose and knocked him out with a punch. CDK then introduced the show properly.

Backstage the DDT Sauna Club declared their love for saunas in English. Brookes said he wants revenge on both of his opponents today. He wants revenge on Yuki Ueno for taking the DDT UNIVERSAL Title from him and he wants revenge on Shunma Katsumata for that time he got him banned from Twitter. His tag partner today Miyu Yamashita only had one thing to say about the upcoming match. “Don’t touch my chin!!” The Sauna Club ignored her warning with Ueno grabbing Yamashita in a Chinlock and Katsumata giving her a Chincrusher. Brookes cut him off with a Slingshot Cutter and Yamashita fired back with the Crash Rabbit Heat. She would have pinned Katsumata if Ueno didn’t break it up in time. Brookes got rid of Ueno outside the ring with a Running Knee Strike and tagged in. Yamashita hit Katsumata with the Skull Kick and Brookes immediately dropped him with the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the match.

The superhero Hyper Misao was in a Falls Count Anywhere match but she was confused over what her opponent was. What is a Mecha Mummy? It is probably an evil monster so she must kill it. Mecha Mummy did not give a pre-match comment. It only shook. In the ring, Mummy hit Misao with Rocket Punches and then attacked her with the Drill. Misao stalled Mummy with a spray attack so she could escape backstage to regroup. After a transformation, Misao returned to the ring as Mecha Pami! She attacked Mummy with her own drills then chased the robot around ringside on the Hyper Mobile. She found a Holy Sword at ringside but Mummy blinded her with powder when she tried to use it. Mummy connected the Jet Scrambler to its back to hit a Diving Attack for a nearfall. Misao escaped the ring again only to get both the Jet Scrambler and Rocket Fist thrown at her. The two fighters dueled at the entrance way and Pami threw Mummy into a nearby castle of chairs. Desperate, Pami grabbed two bottles of water knowing it was Mummy’s weakness. However, Pami was now a Mecha too so it was also her weakness. They both poured water over each other and short circuited. As smoke flowed through the arena from the two motionless robots, Daisuke Kiso called off the match.

When the risk of exploding mechas went away, it was time for the main event. It’s been a while since Baliyan Akki last wrestled on a DDT related show. He was motivated to do his best against Konosuke Takeshita. In return, Takeshita told Akki to bring it. There were big moves thrown when Takeshita gave Akki a Brainbuster on the entrance stage. Akki later hit the Firebird Splash for a two count. He tried to outmaneuver his opponent, flipping out of a German Suplex to set up a Modified La Magistral for another nearfall. But when Takeshita cut Akki off with the Blue Thunder Bomb, the end was near. Akki fired up but Takeshita hit the Zahi knee strike and pinned him with the German Suplex. The two wrestlers praised each other for a good match afterwards.

After the matches were over and everyone cooled down, some of the wrestlers sat down with Brookes and Mr. HAKU in the ring for post-show interviews. Katsumata, Yamashita and Misao took part so they could get the chance to talk to their overseas fans in English. Brookes was happy with the card that was put together because it was interesting and different. He wanted Katsumata and Yamashita on the card because they were on the first produced show. Drew Parker was unavailable because of a scheduling conflict. Ueno was brought in as a logical choice to be Katsumata’s tag partner. Also because Brookes wanted to see Yamashita kick Ueno in the head. Misao assured everyone she is not dead, her mecha form just broke down. Brookes remembered Mecha Mummy from the early days of DDT’s infamy on the internet and wanted to see Misao fight it because she is just as weird. For the main event, Brookes wanted to do Takeshita Vs Akki on the first show but couldn’t. He hates Akki but cannot deny he had a great 2020 so when he got the chance to produce a second show the match was definitely going to happen this time. Brookes and Katsumata then argued over the Twitter ban again. Katsumata apologised and Brookes joked he would be traded to Gake no Fuchi Joshi so Brookes won’t have to wrestle there anymore. For the 3rd produce show, Brookes wants to book everyone who was on this show against Katsumata in an 8 Vs 1 10,000 Thumbtacks Death Match.

DDT “NEW YEAR DRAMATIC ITABA SERIES 2021” Results

January 31, 2021

DDT “NEW YEAR DRAMATIC ITABA SERIES 2021”, 31/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
101 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda and Keigo Nakamura when Owashi pinned both Honda and Nakamura with a Double School Boy (8:23).
2. Yuji Hino, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Chris Brookes, Yusuke Okada & Toui Kojima when Shimatani submitted Kojima with a Modified Camel Clutch (12:21).
3. Young Communication Generation Vs DDT Legend Army!: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Akito with the Hell Sword (10:56).
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Naya pinned Katsumata with the Back Drop (10:18).
5. Konosuke Takeshita & MAO defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Mizuki Watase when MAO pinned Watase with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II (14:05).
6. DAMNATION VS Junretsu!: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani defeated Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao when Akiyama pinned Takao with the Wrist Clutch Exploder Suplex (20:40).

Today was the return of Jun Akiyama from injury and also his last preview match against Tetsuya Endo before their KO-D Openweight Title match. They continued to fight each other after the match until Endo backed out of the ring. Akiyama thanked Endo because he felt today’s match was enough rehabilitation for him. He thinks the right side of the KO-D Title belt looks a little dull so he should polish it before Akiyama takes it off him. Makoto Oishi assured everyone that Akiyama’s strength and power is back to where it was before his absence.

Backstage Akiyama joked he is now unemployed because of his new freelance status. He also cheered up Hideki Okatani when he found out Okatani was disappointed over not winning any matches against DAMNATION while Akiyama was gone. Meanwhile Endo revealed he brought in a new training partner to prepare for the title match. He teased that this person is somebody who knows Akiyama best and everyone will be surprised when the person is unveiled.

Yukio Sakaguchi is getting what he wants from the DDT Sauna Club. Today’s defeat against Konosuke Takeshita & MAO now motivates him to kill the both of them. He promises his title matches with the Sauna Club in Culttz Kawasaki and Nagoya Congress Center will be a war. The likes of MAO and Shunma Katsumata hate the word “war” because saunas are peaceful.

The pairing of Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya had a successful warm up match for “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”. They gave Katsumata a Double Choke Slam and it was Naya who got the pin with a Back Drop. Naya said he is starting over from scratch and has nothing to lose. He will hit Smile Pissari with all of his strength. Higuchi understands and will help him do that.

Danshoku Dieno has come up with a new finishing move. He pressed Akito’s face into his backside and HARASHIMA hit the Somato into Akito from the other side. Dieno then did his own version of the Somato where he hits the move with his crotch instead of the knees. The move is called the Hell Sword. Dieno then tea bagged Akito after the match to add insult to injury. He asked Akito & Kazuki Hirata if they were fooling around when they nominated the DDT old guard for their next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence. All it does it make Dieno the face of DDT again if he wins the championship. His generation will lead DDT again! And if the Young Communication Generation won’t call him the leader of DDT, he will get HARASHIMA to shut them up and follow his orders!

The BOYZ and YaroZ doubleshot in Itabashi Green Hall that was cancelled last year has been rescheduled to 4th April. The BOYZ show will take place on the 2nd Floor while the YaroZ show is held in the 1st Floor.

DDT “DRAMATIC 2021 JANUARY SPECIAL” Results

January 28, 2021

DDT “DRAMATIC 2021 JANUARY SPECIAL”, 28/01/2021
Shinjuku FACE
162 Fans

1. Akito & Chris Brookes defeated Mizuki Watase & Toui Kojima when Brookes submitted Kojima with a Modified Armbar (7:49).
2. DDT Variety Team, Pentagram Ambition!: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno, Saki Akai, Mad Paulie and Gorgeous Matsuno when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Gaydo Clutch (7:28).
3. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda defeated Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Honda pinned Nakamura with the Diving Fist Drop (9:36).
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yuji Hino defeated Yukio Naya with the Fucking BOMB (7:49).
5. Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi, Hideki Okatani & Yusuke Okada when Endo submitted Okatani with the Yurikamome (11:59).
6. Eruption Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno by TKO when Sakaguchi used the Sleeper Hold on Ueno (15:59).

The main event was a preview of both the upcoming DDT UNIVERSAL Title and KO-D Tag Team Title matches scheduled for February’s two big shows. It was the tag champions who came out on top with Kazusada Higuchi using the Brain Claw to nullify Konosuke Takeshita while Yukio Sakaguchi went to town on Yuki Ueno. Sakaguchi hit the God’s Right Knee then repeatedly hit High Kicks with both of his legs. The match had to be stopped when Ueno was put into a Sleeper Hold and he lost consciousness. Eruption held up both the KO-D Tag Title and the UNIVERSAL Title belts to celebrate. Sakaguchi said they will defend the Tag Titles against Takeshita no matter what. He also warned Ueno that this is the fight he will be in at Culttz Kawasaki. After they left the ring, Ueno grabbed the microphone. He admittedly now regrets nominating Sakaguchi to be his challenger but he’ll still be holding the UNIVERSAL Title high above his head in Kawazaki. He and Takeshita are still alive!

Hideki Okatani came close to pinning Tetsuya Endo with a Backslide Pin but it was countered into the Yurikamome Hold to give DAMNATION the victory. Endo wouldn’t let go after the match, causing Yusuke Okada to stomp on him to break it. Daisuke Sasaki and Makoto Oishi then jumped into the fight but things quickly calmed down. Endo taunted Junretsu by telling them they have no chance beating DAMNATION without Jun Akiyama. He will assess how much of a threat Akiyama will be when his return match happens on 31st January.

Big boy Yuji Hino is being targeted by the other big boys in DDT and he just does not understand why. Yukio Naya once more tried to ambush Hino this time right before their match started. And once again the plan failed and Hino slapped him apart. Naya did put up a fight in the match itself but he fell to the Fucking BOMB and seems to no longer be a problem for Hino. Now he has a new problem to deal with. Yuki Iino climbed into the ring moments after the match ended and he hit Hino with the Spear. Akito & Shunma Katsumata got in and held an excited Iino back while Hino asked Mad Paulie and Yukinori Matsui why DDT’s younger wrestlers don’t like him? He doesn’t know what is going on but he will fight back. He also appreciates Paulie helping him in this situation.

It was announced at the start of the show that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is returning to Japan. The current champion, a copy of The Young Bucks autobiography “Killing The Business” was being shipped over from America along with the title belt. Later on during the show, Kazuki Hirata was being chased around backstage by Danshoku Dieno over the result of their 5 Way Match. Hirata lost Dieno in a waiting room and noticed a mystery package on the table. He opened it to find the book and the Iron Man Title! Hirata called in Matsui to count him pinning the book but Dieno arrived in time to stop it and chase Hirata away. The book will now defend the Iron Man Title on the 28th February Korakuen Hall show.

Gorgeous Matsuno announced his 60th birthday commemorative show scheduled for 18th April will be rescheduled because the venue is being used as a vaccination centre during that period.

Today is MAO’s 24th birthday!

Return To Twin Box, Brookes Produce Show 2, Amateur Vs Outsider

January 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW PPV SHOW 2 ~STARTING POINT~”, 30/01/2021
Twin Box AKIHABARA

1. The HERO Has Come To Protect The Peace Of Akihabara!: Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao Vs Sena Shiori & Arisu Endo
2. Yamato Nadeshiko Challenges The Charisma Of A New Era!: Maki Itoh Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Majirabi Warning For Live Music Venues!: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
4. Paripi Vs Gal Single Match: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Bakuretsu Neko-chan Vs Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling): Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku
6. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi

Miyu Yamashita visited Twin Box AKIHABARA during the week to rediscover her memories of the venue when Tokyo Joshi Pro held their first shows their eight years ago. Back then TJPW only consisted of three girls including Yamashita training to be pro wrestlers. This Saturday’s PPV will have 22 women involved. That is a roster over seven times bigger having a show in the same venue! Yamashita thinks it will be good for the rookies like Moka Miyamoto and Sena Shiori to experience mat wrestling. She hopes everyone will feel the history of TJPW in the building as the show goes on.

Yamashita admits she doesn’t remember much about the first show and her memories of those days might be mixed up with the shows that were held in Shibuya DESEO. She didn’t feel uncomfortable wrestling on a padded mat because her training was done on mats too. It only made her excited to wrestling inside a ring as soon as possible. She is more experienced now in fighting outside the ring so she is excited to see what she can do at the PPV this Saturday. The only worry she has is if Yuka Sakazaki does a high flying move from a strange place and accidentally breaks some equipment.

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM”, 07/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
2. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Baliyan Akki
3. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao

Last year Chris Brookes booked his own little DDT show for a worldwide audience. That went down a treat so he’s doing it again this year! Brookes and his opponent back then Yamashita are this time joining forces to fight Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata from the DDT Sauna Club. A returning Baliyan Akki is coming over from Gatoh Move to challenge Konosuke Takeshita in a first time singles match. Then it’s the blockbuster battle of the summer. Hyper Misao takes on the greatest threat to peace and love yet. It’s the return of the Mecha Mummy! A special talk show with some of the participants will be held after the show so Mr. HAKU will have a busy day ahead of him.

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021”, 07/02/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE
2. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers Full-Scale Battle: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
3. The Strongest Amateur Vs The Strongest Outside Enemy: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Is there anyone from Ganbare☆Pro who can beat Ikuto Hidaka? Maybe it will take a wrestler who isn’t signed to Ganpro to do that. Nobody is prouder of their student wrestling roots than Shinichiro Tominaga. Still, Hidaka is getting used to fighting the Ganpro spirit and senses it coming from his upcoming opponent.

The Aka Rangers of Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO were one of the early tag teams of note in DDT. When Ken Ohka was nothing more than a rookie, he got to second the team to ringside and always wanted to wrestle them. Sadly the opportunity never came. Almost 20 years later Ohka finally gets to achieve his dream and he is bringing in a white hot Shota along for the ride.

Ohka wanted to give a present to celebrate Keisuke Ishii’s birthday the day before the show as well as Kouki Iwasaki’s recent marriage. He offered them a GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match against THE HALFEE but they needed a third partner. HARUKAZE also has a birthday that week so she was chosen to complete the team.

BASARA “BASARA 150 ~KINKON ICHIBAN~”, 25/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The double champion Takumi Tsukamoto is trying to rest whenever he can but the title defences are coming quick and fast. Just under a week after his next BJW Death Match Title defence, Tsukamoto will put the Union MAX Title on the line against an impatient Yasu Urano. The challenger has been acting greedy on the indies lately with demands for instant title matches as well as forcing wagers onto his opponents to make his matches more worthwhile. Tsukamoto accepted his challenge but wanted it for a big show like BASARA’s 150th chapter at Shinjuku FACE.

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2021 ~MIZUTAKI~” Results

January 17, 2021

DDT “WRESTLING TONKOTSU 2021 ~MIZUTAKI~”, 17/01/2021
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
159 Fans

1. Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Keigo Nakamura when Akito submitted Nakamura with the Sasori-Gatame (9:52).
2. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Chris Brookes, MAO & Yukio Naya when Higuchi pinned Naya with a Brain Claw Slam (8:23).
3. Yuji Hino defeated Hideki Okatani with a Diving Body Press (8:45).
4. HARASHIMA & Yuto Aijima defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (10:50).
5. Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Yusuke Okada when Endo pinned Watase with the Shooting Star Press (14:00).
6. Only Because It Is! Hakata Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Takeshita pinned Honda with the German Suplex (22:53).

The Gongitsune set up was well scouted by Yuki Ueno. When Antonio Honda stumbled and hurt his knee after a leapfrog, Ueno Dropkicked him in the knees and told everyone they really are sore from sleeping in the tour bus all night long. Danshoku Dieno kept his team in the match when he stopped the WR by grabbing Ueno’s crotch. Honda misdirected Konosuke Takeshita into hitting Ueno with a Lariat and Dieno then gave Ueno a long Lip Lock. He only broke it up to stop Takeshita’s Figure 4 Leg Lock on Honda. Honda hit the Diving Fist Drop but hurt his knee, delaying the pin and only getting him a two count. Honda successfully lured in his opponents with a retirement speech to ambush them with the Hell Gate charged Gongitsune. Ueno recovered to Dropkick Dieno out of the ring and then hit a Plancha on him. Takeshita traded knuckle punches with Honda that ended with a Super Kick and a Lariat double down. Takeshita recovered first and pinned Honda with the German Suplex.

After the match Takeshita told Ueno about the time Dieno gave him his first kiss when he was just a fan in the audience at a DDT show. A few years later, Ueno went to a DDT show and decided to become a wrestler when he saw Takeshita and Honda wrestle as Happy Motel. They are classmates from the same high school fighting against a team of former roommates. How does that make Ueno feel? He said it was rather creepy. Honda took back his retirement speech and said he will wrestle for another 50 years. Dieno said it’s been a long time since he was in a main event and he secretly wanted to change the atmosphere in DDT with Honda by winning. Instead they lost but he is still very proud to see fans come out to watch them today.

Again Tetsuya Endo is calling out Jun Akiyama and asking where he is. He doesn’t have time to waste fighting the rest of Junretsu while Akiyama is on vacation. Daisuke Sasaki corrected him and said he is recovering inside a hospital in Osaka. Endo wants a message send to Akiyama saying Endo will beat him on 14th February. Endo also thinks Yusuke Okada should stop fighting for Akiyama and start fighting for himself. He will still lose to Endo but Endo thinks they can have a slightly better match that way. The four of them all agreed they want to share pro wrestling with everyone.

Yuto Aijima did a lot to throw Kazuki Hirata off his game. He politely shook hands when Hirata expected aggression and he seemed to be weak against Toru Owashi only to regain his strength when Hirata tagged in. The big trick he had was using Keigo Nakamura and Tessho as his doppelgangers to guard him from Hirata’s Tegatana strikes. Even HARASHIMA was confused but he reckons he was only seeing things because the match left him tired.

Akito teased Sanshiro Takagi by using the Stunner on Nakamura before submitting him. When Akito applied the Sharpshooter he did Takagi’s “Fire” pose to wind him up even more.

However, Shota still has an Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defence against Arata taking place in JUST TAP OUT on 15th January. If he loses the title there then his rematch with Urano will become just a normal singles match. Urano wants his match to have consequences and is trying to get Shota to put his hair on the line if he no longer has the championship.

Ikuto Hidaka continues to blaze through the Ganbare☆Pro roster. Shuichiro Katsumura is next to face him, both because he is defending Ganpro’s honour and he wants to face strong opponents.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The International Princess Title is making the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster aspire to spread their name overseas. Mirai Maiumi is stepping up to challenge Yuki Kamifuku for the title. Kamifuku is acting a little patronizing towards her over it because what would a rural girl know about going international? Maiumi wants to prove her wrong.

Somebody tell Yuki Ueno not to poke the wolf. Yukio Sakaguchi made it clear he will choke out anyone who sides with Ueno up until the DDT UNIVERSAL Title match. So Ueno joking about Sakaguchi wanting to pose with the title belt whenever he wins is only going to make fighting him worse.

The full squads for the vacant KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles match have been decided. For once it looks like the whichever team wins can be relied on to appear on the same shows consistantly enough to defend the belts.

Smile Pissari will be fighting the heavyweight team of Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya. Naya’s progress (or lack of it) in the ring has been the story of his DDT run so far. HARASHIMA believes he is getting better and looks forward to fighting Naya at his strongest. If that doesn’t work at least we get Yuji Okabayashi and Higuchi in the same match out of this.

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO

Some goofiness from Shunma Katsumata has led to the DDT Sauna Club getting the next crack at the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted himself, Konosuke Takeshita & MAO to challenge the champions 3 on 2. That’s not allowed so he suggested only Takeshita & MAO get the title match instead. What a good friend. Too bad Sakaguchi knocked him out afterwards.

The #DAMNHEARTS business alliance between DAMNATION and #STRONGHEARTS is no more. CIMA and his associates are now no longer involved with DAMNATION’s activities. If they’re sticking around in DDT they will be going their own direction. Shigehiro Irie is coming back to DDT for a full scale 8-Man Tag against Junretsu.

Chris Brookes has had enough of Antonio Honda’s antics. So much so he is bringing Maki Itoh in to cause some trouble. Saki Akai has Honda’s back though.
